Does anyone here know who has the rights to the liveaction 86-90 Alf show? Because it aired on the Hallmark Channel but they stopped airing it..

Either NBC or Lorimar has the rights I believe!!

I may be confusing things here, but I believe the original poster was asking which network owned the rights to the show. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure whether Hallmark still has the rights, or if they've gone back to the rest of the Warner Bros. package over with Viacom.

Warner Brothers have the rights to this show.

This is taken from the article posted at www.tvshowsondvd.com about the recent Warner Bros. chat.

No plans for release at this time
- The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (1993-1994)
- ALF (1986-1990)
- Beetlejuice (1989-1991)
- Birds of Prey (2003)
- Brimstone (1998-1999)
- Bucky O'Hare (1992)
- CNN's Cold War (1998)
- Fish Police (1992)
- The Flash (1990-1991)
- Freddy's Nightmares (1988-1990)
- Growing Pains (1985-1992)
- Justice League (2001-current) [16x9; box sets]
- Off Centre (2001-2003)
- Perfect Strangers (1986-1993)
- Run of the House (2003-current)
- Thundercats (1985-1987)
- Xiaolin Showdown (2003-current)

At least we now know that there are no plans at this time, whih I don't know why. I know "ALF" would fly off the shelves if it were to be released. Oh well, just because there are no plans to release it now doesn't mean there won't ever be any plans. There's always hope

Bloody Demons,

Please enlighten me as to how you have any "legal" rights to the ALF TV Series?

No doubt, both Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc. and myself are interested in your answer.
